mechanical probe debounce

I am wondering if there is anything in the Acorn code that will allow a software debounce routine for a mechanical probe, if not is there any point to setting up a debounce circuit between the probe and the main board?

Re: digitizing

I w able to finally get a scan that produced some usable data, only had 40 or 50 unscheduled stops, but I got the full surface. I am now wondering if it is possible to have the data stored as a csv file. The data was expressed as if it was a gcode file where the repeated unchanged data are not expre...

Re: digitizing

I digitized a hunk of scrap wood today to watch the leds on the board and see if there was any correlation between the pauses and the led signal.
